See full text

A leg for a self-supporting tower comprising a plurality of upstanding leg members having upper and lower ends. A plurality of vertically spaced-apart and horizontally disposed brace plates are secured to the leg members and extend therebetween. The brace plates have a pair of spaced-apart tie-off openings formed therein which enable a tower climber to tie-off the climber's safety harness thereto. The brace plates have an elongated wind load reducing slot formed therein between the tie-off openings. The leg is devoid of any diagonal braces extending between the leg members thereof thereby making it easier and safer for a climber to climb the tower.
